Anim8or Community

Wow! Nice shadows, lighting in general. Rendered with ART  As about the cans, how did you animate them? They shouldn't move untill the moment you "drop" them.

Hm, very interesting !  Not to mention there's not much of such stuff on forum at all. ( lighting in Anim8or in future plans, beside modeling, texturing, rigging/anim8ing)
Sorry for being ignorant, but what's PerfectGold ( didn't find anything ) and what's DIR.

PS.: O.M.G., DIR - Diffuse Inter-Reflection obviously Nothing about PerfectGold though

Hehe, not a big deal. Great if it can be helpfull to somebody. See it like a tribute to all those who make the great stuff 

Are you talking about camera settings, FOV specifically? That "active" setting, you mean the box, checking it? The value is for the FOV ( Field of View ). It has the value of 60 by default.

Wellcome on the forum ! 
Nice street ! Is that an image of a real view or imaginary? Maybe you could slightly twick the houses so they wont look exactly the same. Or maybe that was the goal? The grass a little bit on the right bottom corner and maybe in general, mess with it. Nice cars in the depth.
Try to go slow, but with more detail and accuracy. Will be interesting to see how it will turn out

So. I've returned to Anim8or after a long time not been around. Lots of changes and as I've mentioned before, I lost the ball here. So I decided that if I want to catch up the whole thing I shall start all over again. From zero, totaly , as I did never before. I've searched all new videos, tutorials that were created from the point I kind of moved away a little bit . Lot of new stuff, but not that much. Can't say the same about the development of Anim8or . Huge steps forward. So I thought the only way ( as goes with my way of thinking, behavior in general ) is to go through the whole Anim8or forum !!! Started a little bit on some threads in all forums, but then decided to "clean up " the whole ASL forum for my self ( as known, scripts are the power !!! ) . So I came up with a list of scripts that were posted from The Big Bang the day of birth of the Official Anim8or Forum (the new one) . First goes the name of the topic in which originaly were posted the scripts and finaly the scripts of interest and the nickname of the author of the script. There are a few programs and some tools beside them also, just few. There are also some interesting semi-finished or just some wip scripts,controllers and stuff that never reached ( at least officially ) their release point, and other stuff that certainly may present some interest to those who are interested in scripting, programming e.t.c, but I didn't include them. Here you'll find only the officially released, finished tools , that were ever posted on forum. Starting from the oldest post. 
Jeez, I'm so stupid !( that explains a lot then) How do I "bind" an url to words so the url wont be visible and the words themeselves become blue-ish and clickable ( is that a word  )<--fixed

                                                              There's no hope! I'm gonna nail it !!! 

should this not now be in V1 forum?

v0.98 has come to an end.

Trev

Yeap, this thread should not be continued here. Though I think it should be in Ongoing Development forum, since the v.1.0 is more about bug reports and not general suggestions on Anim8or Development as this thread more looks like to be. And since we bring this on generally, more a suggestion to Steve, maybe this forum ( v.0.98 ) should be transfered in the Ongoing Development Forum as a thread, there belong othere older releases ? Maybe even Raxx can do it ?!

Nice Steve !!! In the last release everything works just great !!! Coordinate systems now behave as they supposed to !
 What a long way that was! Since you mentioned it, couple of things I report again, if allowed.

1)   

Ahhhh, so there is a command Edit->Rotate->RotateCustom in Point Edit mode -- but it never has done anything! What were they thinking when they wrote this thing?

Looks like something that should I should work on next

It works, the rotation. But maybe you could disable the other commands in Edit menu in Point Editor which are not available ( Scale, Locate ), like the Pivot ?

2) In the same menu ( Edit  -- > Select ) in Point Editor , I don't remember from which version, the " Select Face Edges " command was removed, though it's still usable in Point Editor through its hotkey "t". Can you restore it ?

3) You added the " Split Solids " command in Build menu in Object Editor but in Point Editor the " l " shortcut for the split solids command still works, when nothing selected joined meshes split. Since you added the command in Object Editor in Build menu, maybe it's a good idea to remove, if possible, that possibility ( split solids ) from Point Editor. Since originaly the " l " hotkey stands for the " loop cut " command, if nothing is selected when hitting " loop cut " ( "l" hotkey ) nothing should happen, so no solids would split by mistake.

Later I'll add some other things
